Linus Torvalds on GNOME 3 #ui
"That said, exactly because they are so important, it does frustrate me when I hit things that I perceive to be steps backwards. [...]
The same thing is what frustrated me about many of the changes in Gnome 3. The whole āletās make it clutter-freeā was taken to the point where it was actually hard to get things done, and it wasnāt even obvious how to do things when you could do them. That kind of minimalist approach is not forward progress, itās just UI people telling people āwe know betterā, even if it makes things harder to do. That kind of āthings that used to be easy are suddenly hard or impossibleā just drives me up the wall, and frustrates me."
